Indiana Political Shuffle Ahead of 1893 Nominations
Special notes from Indianapolis report that the former Alliance national council plans an independent ticket for next year after opposing Republican measures. Gov Hovey’s death moves Lieut. Gov Ira Chase to acting governor until Jan 11 1893, while Sen Frank M Griffith becomes acting lieutenant governor. The piece also covers a Mexico trip by Governor Hovey’s party and a satirical overview of Indiana’s forthcoming long ballot with numerous state and county offices.

Political sniping and oddities lead Indiana pages
A La Fayette Courier critique targets Republican behavior. The column lists remarkable local tales from Indiana towns: Koontz’s 107th birthday, a Perru native who fought in the 1812 and Mexican wars, a teen poison scare in Anderson, a Shelbyville recluse living in a dugout, a Hartford City shooting, and a Knox county payroll for officials. It notes oil leases, butter-dish production, coin collections, and oddball notices amid tax and crime items.
